October 25, 2021 - TheNewswire - Renforth Resources Inc. (C NSX: RFR. CN ) (OTC:RFHRF) (FSE:9RR ) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to update shareholders on the resumed stripping program on the ~5km long Victoria West target of Renforth’s wholly owned 260km 2 Surimeau property, located in the Pontiac sediments, contiguous to the Canadian Malartic Mine, near Malartic Quebec. Surface visible copper mineralization has been encountered, consisting of stringers of medium to coarse grained chalcopyrite and occasional trace clots of bornite, the channel samples have been sent for assay.
The program, targeting an area between two groups of the holes drilled in the 2.2km long drill program earlier this year has, to date, successfully exposed 180m of sulphide bearing bedrock and completed the southern portion, approximately 50m long by 7m wide, of the eastern crosscut, once complete the crosscut will be approximately 150m in length. The southern contact between the ultramafic and the Pontiac was successfully intersected in the cross cut, along with another band of alteration similar to the main alteration running through the centre of the stripped area.
Field Comments on Mineralization
Almost all the newly exposed bedrock over ~180m strike in the stripped area is ultramafic, hosting low grade nickel and zinc mineralization along the entire strike, with the width of the stripped area averaging 35m in width but reaching up to a maximum of 42m, without exposing the contact of the ultramafic and the sedimentary Pontiac unit. The southern portion of the east cross cut exposes the ultramafic – Pontiac contact and it is anticipated that the northern portion of this crosscut, once stripped, will also expose this contact zone. The mineralized zone, comprised of a central deformational structure bound to the north and the south by ultramafics, is oriented east-west and encompasses, in the western half of the planned stripping area, two small historic trenches which expose the deformation zone and ultramafics. Mineralization has been observed in numerous places within the stripped area visually, confirmed with the use of a handheld XRF. The strongest and most impressive mineralization, at least visually, is along and within the central deformation structure with frequent clots and stringers of chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite and occasionally sphalerite, bornite and pentlandite. To date, thirteen channels have been cut and sampled and numerous grab samples have been taken. Samples are being delivered to the lab on an ongoing basis. The current estimated turnaround time is 8-10 weeks.
Technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Francis R. Newton P.Geo (OGQ#2129), a “qualified person” pursuant to NI 43-101.
